The Modernity Of Jean Baudrillard Transformationism And...

The modernity for Jean Baudrillard, who can be attributed more to the critics of the postmodern situation than to its apologists, is the era of total simulation, and he everywhere discovers the simulation character of all modern social and cultural phenomena. As a result, according to Baudrillard, people do not deal with reality, but with hyper reality, perceived much more realistically than reality itself. The current state of things is called Baudrillards state after orgies / Transparency of Evil, 1990 /. Every explosive moment in the world is an orgy. This is the moment of liberation in any sphere. The liberation of the political and sexual, the liberation of the productive and destructive forces, the liberation of women and†¦show more content†¦Simulation is no longer a forgery of the original and it is not pure seriality, which is governed by the law of equivalences, now all forms are derived by modulating the differences. Hyperspace simulation is characterized by a cyc lic repetition of events, which, in turn, are formed from the orbital circulation patterns. In such a cycle, according to Baudrillard, determinism or determination is impossible, because of its spread in all directions, it gives rise to pluralism. However, the most significant characteristic of a hyper real space is its controllability by a genetic or binary code. According to Baudrillard, at the stage of simulation, a long process is being completed, when God, man, progress, history itself died, one after another, giving way to the code, when transcendence died, giving way to immanence, corresponding to a much higher stage of staggering manipulation of social relations. We can say that moral values, starting from this period, are not only regulated by code, but also generated by them, henceforth even moral values are not moral values, but moral simulacra. Speaking about the difference between simulation and representation, Baudrillard deduces that the latter proceeds, first of all, from the principle of equivalence of the sign and reality
